...home run brought in three others in the eighth inning, and his single made it possible for Kendall to score in the first. He gave Stillman perfect support, threw well to second, and in the third inning made a remarkable double play by catching Steinwender's foul near the backstop and throwing to second in time to retire Watkins. Devens hit the ball hard every time he came to bat, but was twice put out by the good work of the Princeton outfield. Coolidge was badly off form. He made two errors, and missed a chance for a double play...
...baseball team spent most of the afternoon yesterday in batting practice at the nets and on the diamond. The pitching was done by Stillman, Kernan, MacDonald and B. A. Hayes '98. The men showed improved form in batting and made a number of clean, hard drives. Wendell's backstop work was good, but he was weak in throwing to second. Reid's throwing to bases was remarkably swift and accurate. The fielding practice was sharp and more accurate than on Tuesday. Kendall, though fairly sure on thrown balls, is still very weak in fielding batted balls, and his throwing yesterday...
...buildings to be erected, it is in the first place necessary to improve the present locker building and to build a cage for the use of the nine. It is hoped that enough money can be raised for a baseball pavilion to be placed behind the backstop, and also for small locker houses beneath the seats of the football field for the greater convenience of the players. The steel seats now on Holmes Field will be moved over during the summer to form the side seats for both fields, and money must be raised to build new steel ones...
...catchers Davis '99 and Cochrane '99 are putting up a first rate game; this is Cochrane's first attempt at catching, and with practice he promises to do well. Morse 1L. S. S. is rather the best of the Freshmen and makes an effective backstop. Burrage '98, Egbert 1900 and Skillings 1900 are fair catchers and have done good work so far. Altogether the battery candidates seem rather above the average, and there should be enough men to provide not only good 'Varsity batteries, but one for the College nine...
...unanimously against the plan. Professor Hollis then showed with the aid of a map a scheme devised by Mr. Peabody, the architect, by which the fields would be separate but the seats would be in line and those of the diamond would continue in a curve behind the backstop. The running trach would enclose the football field. This met with the approval of Captain Dean and Captain Vincent...
